Curfews and other security
measures remain in effect as pilgrims observe
the anniversary of the death of Imam Moussa al-Kadhim; due to the curfew, Baghdad
newspapers are unable
to publish until after tomorrow’s observances are over. Overall, 121 Iraqis
were killed or found dead and 87 more were wounded. Also, an American soldier
and an RAF servicemember were killed in separate incidents.

At least 40
people were killed during a pair of incidents in Sadr City. An overnight
raid by Iraqi and Coalition troops left 32 dead, most in an airstrike in the densely
populated suburb of Baghdad. Today, fighting between Coalition forces and the
Mahdi Army left another eight dead and 10
wounded.
